Jazmin
/ˈd͡ʒæz.mɪn/
Jazmin is a spelling variant of Jasmine, from the Persian yasmin, the name of the fragrant flowering plant (Jasminum) widely cultivated for perfume and tea. The Persian name entered Arabic as yasamin and spread across the Middle East and Mediterranean.
Jasmine is one of the world’s most commercially important flowers in the perfume industry. The scent has been used for millennia in the Middle East and South Asia. As a given name, it carries associations of fragrance, delicacy, and warmth.
Jazmin peaked in the US at No. 155 in 2006 with 2,240 births. In 2024 it ranks No. 653 with 449 births, well below its 2000s high.
What the name Jazmin means
The Disney princess Jasmine in Aladdin (1992) drove the broad Jasmine name trend. The Jazmin spelling variant emerged particularly in Latino communities as an anglicisation that retained the name’s sound while simplifying the spelling.
Three syllables—JAZ-min—are warm and fragrant-sounding. The Jaz- opening adds a musical edge that gives the name a contemporary feel alongside its ancient floral origin.
Parents who choose Jazmin often have Latino family backgrounds and prefer the simplified single-s spelling over the more elaborate Jasmine or Yasmin forms.
Related spellings include Jasmine (most common English form), Yasmin (Arabic/Persian closer to origin), Yasmeen (alternate Arabic transliteration), Jasmyn, and Jazlyn (hybrid with -lyn suffix).
